We support families in the local area with activity sessions followed by a hot, healthy meal. We also deliver activity packs and meals to families who are unable to access our in-person sessions.
About this cause
Make Lunch Chester-le-Street began in 2020 and has been supporting local families during school holidays ever since. We provide themed activity sessions which include craft, active games, fun ways to eat healthily, free play and board/card games. This is followed by a 2-course hot, healthy meal for all the family. Parents and carers are provided with information about eating healthily, recipes and information about other local organisations which support families. Make Lunch Chester-le-Street is part of the Cornerstones project of Chester-le-Street Methodist Church and we are guided by the national organisation TLG (Transforming Lives for Good).
How this cause brings people in the community together
Providing a hot and nutritious meal, as well as activities, supports families who may be finding it difficult to provide food, access activities or who are socially isolated.
